Leave the noise behind and get the most from your music. QuietComfort® 3 headphones feature a compact, on-ear design with a proven combination of Bose® noise reduction, audio performance and comfortable fit.
Proprietary Bose technologies deliver quality sound from these award-winning headphones. Whether you're relaxing at home, working in the office or embarking on a long flight, QC®3 headphones make listening a pleasure just about anywhere.
Proven performance
QuietComfort® 3 headphones feature Bose Acoustic Noise Cancelling technology that electronically identifies, then dramatically reduces the noise around you, while preserving the audio or tranquility you desire. Proprietary signal processing and audio reproduction technology also provide lifelike audio across the full range of sound – including deep low tones - from relatively small and lightweight headphones.
Think of your noisy office, or the bustling activity in train stations and other public places. With all that ambient noise reduced, the high quality sound these headphones provide becomes even more apparent. You may hear nuances in your favourite tracks that you've never noticed before. And the soft-cushioned, easy-on-the-ears fit lets you listen comfortably for hours.
Hear the difference for yourself
Wear QuietComfort® 3 headphones when you fly, and you'll notice a dramatic reduction in engine noise the moment you turn them on. And when it's time for some music, simply plug the cable into your portable player, tablet or the inflight entertainment system. The cable fits directly into most portable devices.
Take calls. Take control.
QuietComfort® 3 headphones also feature a cable customised for selected Apple devices. A three-button remote and inline microphone let you take calls on your iPhone and manage music on other Apple devices. You can control volume, track selection and voice applications, plus easily switch between calls and music.
Fine travelling companions
QuietComfort® 3 headphones come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and convenient wall charger. You can expect 25 hours of use from a fully charged battery, with a lifespan of approximately 500 charging cycles. An airline adapter plug and protective carrying case are also included. Ear cups fold flat for easy storage in the slim case.
